Bieber also put money in his own pocket and brought water, snacks, sports equipment and hundreds of books with him to the Philippines to distribute throughout the communities he visited.

After meeting locals in the city of Tacloban he then performed an acoustic show and participated in a local basketball tournament.

He also visited a Unicef relief shelter hosted in a City Central School that reopened on December 8 and a San Jose School, which is currently being used as a temporary living environment for 300 families.

Bieber, 19, told the Mirror: “I came to the Philippines to help my fans understand the importance of involvement on all levels. It’s easy to pledge my commitment to this cause, but it’s staying involved that matters most to me and that is exactly what I plan to do.

"I want to bring as much awareness to the devastated areas as I can. Seeing the suffering first hand and interacting with the community was an experience I will never forget.”

Bieber is asking fans to help him support victims of Typhoon Haiyan, which left nearly 6,000 people dead and more than 1,700 others missing, and flattened entire towns and villages in the central Philippines.
